'The Trauma Code' was created with Seasons 2 and 3 in mind, says writer Lee Nak Joon

According to FlixPatrol, Netflix's The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call secured 2nd place globally on the TOP TV Shows on Netflix chart as of January 29.  

Previously, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call had topped the charts in 8 countries (South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru), and with the addition of Venezuela, El Salvador, Ecuador, and others, on January 29, the medical K-drama now stands at the top in a total of 13 countries. 

Additionally, according to top10.netflix.com, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call recorded 4.7 million views from January 20 (Monday) to January 26 (Sunday), achieving 3rd spot in the Global Top 10 Non-English Shows category just three days after its release. The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call follows Baek Kang Hyuk (Ju Ji Hoon), a genius surgeon who has performed surgeries even in the most chaotic conflict zones. He takes on the mission of leading the underfunded and sidelined Trauma Team at a university hospital.  

Dr. Lee Nak Joon, who penned the original work, mentioned the possibility of Seasons 2 and 3 on his YouTube channel Doctor Friends.  

Talking about his web novel being adapted into a Netflix drama, he said, "Netflix, of all things. At first, I thought it was a delusion. It was nothing back when I first said in 2019 that it would be great if my novel gets adapted into a webtoon and a drama. But then the rights were sold. The filming hadn't started for a while. And suddenly, in 2023, production began."

Lee Nak Joon also said, "If the drama does well, Season 2 will likely happen... If many people are curious about what happens next, they'll probably check out my webtoon or web novel." He further emphasized, "This drama was made with Seasons 2 and 3 in mind."

There is no official statement from Netflix regarding Season 2 of The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call.
